> 24 hourSound is pretty good but these are so light almost plastic feeling. I was concerned that over use they would break. It was disappointing for the price. Returned and got apple airpod max.

> 24 hourI bought these specifically for work to drown out all of the side conversations in my office. I have zero complaints and this was probably my best purchase of 2022. The noise canceling is great and the sound quality is clean. I like that these have adaptive features based on what Im doing or my surroundings, and I can talk to others without taking them off if. I read about seeing fingerprints on these in black so opted for the silver. But I gravitated towards the silver anyways because I tend to prefer neutral muted tones.

> 24 hourLet me just start off by saying these are SO GOOD! The quality, the look, the sound ARE SO GOOD! They are so sleek!! if someone were to blindfold me and put these on my head, I would really think they were a Apple product, from the sound quality and features. All of my personal devices are Apple products, and I decided to go out of the box for these kind of headphones and definitely made the right choice. I tried the Apple ones, but in my opinion, these were lighter and more comfortable with the same quality. And these are definitely at a bit lower price point. 11/10 recommend.

> 24 hourThese headphones are the best investment I’ve ever made. The noise cancellation is so good that I forget about my surroundings. And battery life last so long and I used them daily.

> 24 hourThese sound ok. Personally like the sound from older Bose 700 model. But always disconnecting and not working with Teams. Frustrated that they are not able to handle it. Yes I have tried everything on Windows 10 to get them to work. They will literally work watching a YouTube video and as soon as I go to Teams they stop working.

> 24 hourThis headset is almost perfect for my needs. They are light and can be on for hours without too much discomfort and the battery life is ridiculous. Why does it matter? Because I needed them on my flight to Europe to be able to listen to downloaded movies. Noise reduction in the airplane ended up being much more than 95%… you heard that right :) to me it felt like almost complete noise reduction, so much that I could hear my breathing and could lower the overall sound levels to below 50%. In my hotel room, noise reduction was close to 100%… I had to turn off the ANR to hear the loud air conditioner again. Better than some sound isolation phone booths! Cons: ears can get warm but ok for airplane ride; voice passthrough for phone calls/teams calls is a little weird and takes getting used to; cost

> 24 hourGreat headphones overall they were very light but im my honest opinion I like better the AirPods Max because they sound more loud and the spacial audio and I feel the the max are more crisp in sound than the xm5. very sand that I have to return it because I really was looking forward to keep it

> 24 hourI have been looking for some good over the ear headphones and seen so many good reviews of these. I decided to try them out and these are some amazing head phones! I recently had to travel and ended up wearing them for 6 hours straight! Battery life: The battery was full and by the end of my travel it dropped to 85% so the battery life is outstanding. Noise cancellation: It was really good and didn’t create too much pressure while on. Even when the headphones were off it did an amazing job of damping outside noise. Ex: I was by a VERY loud construction site and once I put on the headphones (turned off) it almost dampened the noise completely. Ambient Mode: It’s nice, I will say that in some cases I didn’t really use it. For example if you are in a loud environment it will be extremely loud while on. Which makes sense as the point of AMB is to be aware of your surroundings but if you have sensory issues I would be mindful of it. When you do the quick ambient sound it’s really good and makes what you need to hear very clear. There is very little static noise but if you are listening closely it’s very faint. Comfort: These are so comfortable and lightweight. Part of the reason I was having difficulty choosing over the ear headphones was because many were too heavy for my liking but when I wore these I forgot I had them on. I only had to adjust them once when it hit closer to the 5 hour mark. There is very little discomfort. My only thing is being that they are so light it feels like they can slip off easily sometimes. When you have them laying on your neck it can be a little uncomfortable at least for me. They landed on my collarbones so there was just hard plastic hitting my collarbones over a bit of time. But that is just me nit picking. Few set backs: the storage of them is a little inconvenient or undesirable. I wish these could fold because the case is quite large and take ups a lot of space especially when you are traveling. Overall: I have really enjoyed the experience with these headphones! I would really recommend these to someone who has auditory sensitivity like myself because they check a lot of boxes! There are only a few things that I wasn’t a huge fan of but that was like I said me nit picking. A video that was very helpful in making this decision was by: This is Tech Today on YouTube, they really went in-depth of all the features while also comparing it to different nc/amb headphones!
